| I see prices all over the board for different variants of 226's. I have a 226 manufactured in 95 used and looking to figure out a fair price to sell it for. Any input would be appreciated. |

Ummm... no. Quoted:

The old ones are much better quality than the modern ones and will last longer. If you do sell it, and I suggest you don't, sell it at full MSRP for the modern equivalent or do a trade for something you want more. Ummm... no. +1 Taking off nostalgia glasses, the milled slide is stronger and requires less maintenance. |

Don't sell it, you'll regret it. I urge you not to sell your P226. Everyone needs to have at least one excellent example of a double-stack 9mm handgun in their collection and the P226 is it. But if you must, $500-600 is a fair price, depending on what comes with it. |

Despite the craftsmanship of the older SIGs, nobody is going to pay anywhere close to current new prices for a 1995 P226. |

The variance in price is due to the bells and whistles!
Does your 226 have front cocking serrations? Does it have a rail? newer N/S, a short reset trigger, Rosewood grips, threaded barrel, stainless finish, etc etc etc . . . all of these extras can add to the sale price of a gun. That's why the Elite models are regularly 850-1200 depending on model and finish. If you have an older model 226 with standard night sights I'd say 500 bucks is spot on (considering it's in great shape) if it has N/S that have gone dim a decade ago I'd say 475. If it's stainless I'd say 650+ YMMV according to state and region. |
